Between this and The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), it seems Derrickson has a thing for stories about controversial real-life court cases — especially those with an alleged occultic element!

And as if these two films weren’t enough, the IMDB says Derrickson is also attached to the sci-fi film Countdown, based on a short story by Richard Matheson (author of the stories that inspired The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Omega Man, What Dreams May Come, etc.)! Quite a full plate, he has.
